Pulling the short straw

 Jake has become the go-to guy to make the rounds to hawk Prisoners to the Hollywood community? Because Hugh is over and out from Prisoners, and Jake's the one who is working Night(crawler) and still selling.

 Even Denis isn't sent out to sell it. 

Does that mean Hugh's nom is a lock?

That Hugh didn't have the campaign clause in his contract?

That this is one of the exec producers, Mark Wahlberg's plans to work Jake until Jake says he says "Uncle" and agrees to  do a cameo in the new Entourage movie?

 

That Warner Bros.  thinks Jake has a good chance a nom but needs "a little more work"?

That Jake and Maria pulled the short straws at the cast lunch?

Or is it a "chat about the movie/ one less 'date' with her" token economy?

Raising coin

When you're making a independent movie even a short one you need cash.  And you have to get funding anyway you can.

So Austin some suggestions.

  

With your looks you could do some endorsements.

  Now while it seems like all the hot swag might be all scooped up there's always room for those second tier products. 

 They are a bit more run of the mill and a heck of lot less sexy. But they still need to get sold. 

 Like ladders.

 Fishing poles

Bowling Shoes

 Towing Companies

Planks and ropes

Paint Drop Clothes

And Rubber Boots

It'd be like shooting fish in a barrel for ya, big guy.
